Elliot Jay Stocks is a designer and musician, these days working almost exclusively with clients as a typographic consultant, and releasing music as Other Form on various European techno labels. His love affair with type started with the magazine 8 Faces, which he founded in 2010, and which led to him becoming Creative Director of Adobe Typekit (now known as Adobe Fonts). After Adobe, he co-founded the lifestyle magazine Lagom with his wife, which was published until the end of 2019. In the last five years, Elliot has held Creative Director roles at Colonna Coffee, ClearScore, and Maido, and is currently creating something new for Google Fonts.

beyond tellerrand is one of the few conferences in the world able to create a genuine sense of community. It’s like the conferences of yesteryear; everything feels fun and new; all the attendees make for a truly welcoming environment. Marc’s passion comes through in every aspect of the production, and I can’t wait to return to the next event.
